🥳 Welcome to my British English slang miniseries! I’m going to be focusing on a slang word or expression every day for the next few weeks. British slang refers to informal language and expressions that are commonly used in the U.K. These terms often vary regionally and can be characterised by their colloquial nature. British slang can include words, phrases, and idioms that may not be widely understood outside of the UK. It's often used in casual conversations among friends and peers and may reflect cultural trends and influences. So, with that understanding, let’s get started! To kick start this miniseries, we have the word brolly. Do you know the meaning? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
